The Smiths Follow Up

Due to some display of interest, here are the lyrics to the finest condemnation of the welfare state ever written, by the Mancunian singer Morrissey.

Still Ill
I decree today that life
Is simply taking and not giving
England is mine - she owes me a living.
But ask me why, and I'll spit in your eye.
Oh, ask me why, and I'll spit in your eye.
But we cannot cling to the old dreams anymore,
No, we cannot cling to those dreams...

Does the body rule the mind
Or does the mind rule the body ?
I dunno...

Under the iron bridge we kissed
And although I ended up with sore lips
It just wasn't like the old days anymore,
No, it wasn't like those days.
Am I still ill ? Oh...
Am I still ill ? Oh...

Does the body rule the mind
Or does the mind rule the body ?
I dunno...

Ask me why, and I'll die,
Oh, ask me why, and I'll die.
And if you must, go to work tomorrow
Well, if I were you I really wouldn't bother.
For there are brighter sides to life,
And I should know, because I've seen them,
But not very often ...
Under the iron bridge we kissed
And although I ended up with sore lips
It just wasn't like the old days anymore.
No, it wasn't like those days.
Am I still ill ?
